PROTEST AND DISSENT

 

      Pursuant to Article IV, Section 11, of the Minnesota Constitution, we the undersigned members of the Minnesota House of Representatives register our protest and dissent regarding the following actions:

 

      On Wednesday, March 6, 2013, Representatives Falk and Wagenius, members of the Agriculture Policy Committee, raised points of order against multiple Republican amendments in direct violation of Mason's section 616, numbers three and four, and Mason's section 636, number two.  Raising these points of order had the effect of silencing Representatives from Greater Minnesota.

 

      It has long been custom of this body, with the committee chair's discretion, to permit the offering of any and all amendments to a bill before committee.  Traditionally members of a committee have not raised points of order on issues of germaness in committee.  This is yet another attempt by Representatives Falk and Wagenius and their Democratic majority to refuse to work in a bipartisan manner by silencing the minority.

 

      Agriculture committees in the House have been bi-partisan and collegial, this is no longer the case.  Chairwoman Wagenius and Vice-chairman Falk of the Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture Finance Committee again today would not let the voice of Minnesota family farmers be heard in Saint Paul.

 

      If work on legislation is to occur in committee as implied by the permanent rules of the Minnesota House of Representatives, then we believe the committee chair shall provide abundant opportunities for a full and complete debate of any measure at hand.  This includes no limits on the offering and discussion of amendments proposed by the minority caucus.

 

Signed:

 

Rod Hamilton                                                         Ron Kresha

Paul Anderson                                                       Bud Nornes

David FitzSimmons                                              John Petersburg

Deb Kiel

 

 

ADJOURNMENT

 

      Murphy, E., moved that the House adjourn.  The motion prevailed, and the Speaker declared the House stands adjourned until 3:00 p.m., Thursday, March 7, 2013.

 

 

Albin A. Mathiowetz, Chief Clerk, House of Representatives
